OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
• Freeze the background on
the monitor screen.

Recording a Subject onto an Existing
Background Image (Pre-shot)
Pre-shot helps you get the background you want, even if
you need to ask someone else to record the image for you.
Basically, Pre-shot is a two-step process.
1. You compose the background you want and press the
shutter release button, which causes a semi-transparent
image of the background to remain on the monitor
screen.
2. Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your
original background, telling them to compose the image
by using the semi-transparent monitor screen image as a
guide.
• The camera stores the image produced by step 2 only.
• Depending on how the image is actually composed in
step 2, its background may not be exactly the same as
the one you composed in step 1.

• Record the image, using
the background on the
monitor screen as a guide.

Note that Pre-shot is available in the Best Shot mode only
(page 73).

• This records the image.

81

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
• The remaining recording time value counts down on
the monitor screen as you record.

Using the Histogram
You can use the [DISP] button to display a histogram on
the monitor screen. The histogram lets you check exposure
conditions as you record images (page 31). You can also
display the histogram of a recorded image in the PLAY
mode.

5. When movie recording is complete, the movie
file is stored in file memory.
• To cancel storage of the movie file, use [] to select
“Delete” while file storage is being performed, and
then press [SET].
IMPORTANT!
• The flash does not fire in the Movie mode.

Histogram

A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an
image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis
indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis
indicates lightness. You can use the histogram to
determine whether an image includes the shadowing (left
side), mid tones (center), and highlighting (right) required to
bring out sufficient image detail. If the histogram appears
too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift
(exposure compensation) to move it left or right in order to
achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be
achieved by correcting exposure so the graph is as close to
the center as possible.

82

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
• When the histogram is too far
to the left, it means that there
are too many dark pixels.
This type of histogram results
when the overall image is
dark. A histogram that is too
far to the left may result in
“black out” of the dark areas
of an image.

IMPORTANT!
• Note that the above histograms are shown for
illustrative purposes only. You may not be able to
achieve exactly the same shapes for particular
subjects.
• A centered histogram does not necessarily
guarantee optimum exposure. The recorded image
may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even
though its histogram is centered.
• You may not be able to achieve an optimum
histogram configuration due to the limitations of EV
shift.
• Use of the flash as well as certain shooting
conditions can cause the histogram to indicate
exposure that is different from the actual exposure of
the image when it was recorded.
• This histogram does not appear when you are using
Coupling Shot (page 77).

• When the histogram is too far
to the right, it means that
there are too many light
pixels.
This type of histogram results
when the overall image is
light. A histogram that is too
far to the right may result in
“white out” of the light areas of
an image.
• A centered histogram
indicates that there is good
distribution of light pixels and
dark pixels. This type of
histogram results when the
overall image is at optimal
lightness.

improper illumination of the subject.

84

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Center weighted (Center-weighted):
Center-weighted metering measures
light concentrating on the center of the
focus area. Use this metering method
when you want to exert some control
over exposure, without leaving settings
totally up to the camera.

Selecting the Metering Mode
Use the following procedure to specify multi-pattern
metering, spot metering, or center-weighted metering as
the metering mode.

1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].

Spot (Spot):
Spot metering takes readings at a very
small area. Use this metering method
when you want exposure to be set
according to the brightness of a
particular subject, without it being
affected by surrounding conditions.

2. Select the “REC” tab, select “Metering”, and
then press [].

3. Select the setting you want, and then press
[SET].
Multi (Multi-pattern):
Multi-pattern metering divides the image
into sections and measures the light in
each section for a balanced exposure
reading. The camera automatically
determines shooting conditions
according to the measured lighting
pattern, and makes exposure settings
accordingly. This type of metering
provides error-free exposure settings for
a wide range of shooting conditions.

IMPORTANT!
• When “Multi” is selected as the metering mode,
certain procedures cause the metering mode setting
to change automatically as described below.
• Changing the exposure compensation setting (page
70) to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering
mode setting to “Center Weighted.” The metering
mode changes back to “Multi” when you return the
exposure compensation setting to 0.0.

REC Mode

The camera’s “mode memory” feature lets you specify the
power on default settings individually for the REC mode,
flash mode, focus mode, white balance mode, ISO
sensitivity, AF Area, metering mode, flash intensity, digital
zoom mode, and manual focus position. Turning on mode
memory for a mode tells the camera to remember the
status of that mode when you turn off the camera, and
restore it the next time you turn the camera back on. When
mode memory is turned off, the camera automatically
restores the initial factory default setting for the applicable
mode.
The following table shows what happens when you turn
mode memory on or off for each mode.
